Now Ferguson Wants Henry Banned
10/31/2004 4:18:00 AM
Sir Alex Ferguson’s attempt to place Manchester United in sole occupancy of football’s moral high ground following criticism of their ‘robust’ tactics against bitter rivals Arsenal in last weekend’s now infamous clash moved up a notch as he called on the Football Association to punish Arsenal's Thierry Henry for an incident involving Gabriel Heinze.
Ferguson believes Henry deliberately caught Heinze on the head with his knee during United’s controversial victory that halted the Gunners’ unbeaten run.
The United manager said it was worse than Ruud van Nistelrooy’s tackle on Ashley Cole, for which the Dutch striker received a three-match ban.
"We shall present it to the FA and see what they do. The tackle on Heinze was terrible," said Ferguson.
Clubs are permitted to ask the FA to examine specific incidents, although information is normally expected to be provided within 48 hours of the end of the game.
The clash occurred moments before half-time when a Freddie Ljungberg challenge left Heinze on the ground on the left touchline.
Henry, following the ball, attempted to hurdle the Argentine but his knee collided with the back of Heinze’s head.
The striker protested his innocence - and referee Mike Riley deemed the collision accidental.
Ferguson was also upset by Arsenal’s overall discipline during the heated encounter between the two clubs. He praised his own side’s behaviour.
"Edu produced a terrible tackle on Scholes that was a potential leg-breaker," he said.
"There were 24 fouls in the game by Arsenal, seven on Heinze, five on Ronaldo, six by Vieira - and it was only his sixth foul that got him booked. Phil Neville got booked for his first challenge.
"I am proud of my players for the way they handled that pressure.
"We have always been good at being gracious in defeat. What happened on Sunday overshadowed our achievement, but then they do it all the time, don’t they?"

honestly these two wankers are getting on my nerves:groan:
i mean,if you want to lodge an appeal,frickin do it and stop creating a huge whoo-ha over this 'rivalry'.
